Dear colleagues, The dsa-research group (author of the widely used Globus GridWay Metascheduler) has released a Technology Preview of the OpenNEbula (ONE) Virtual Infrastructure Engine. OpenNEbula transforms a physical cluster into a flexible virtual infrastructure which dynamically adapts to the changing demands of a service workload. Cluster administrators will find relevant its support for on-demand resource provisioning, Cluster consolidation, Cluster partitioning or heterogeneous workloads. Please see the "On-demand Scaling of Computing Clusters" use case at http://www.OpenNEbula.org/doku.php?id=documentation Regards, Ignacio M. Llorente ---------------------------- TECHNOLOGY PREVIEW OF THE OpenNEbula (ONE) VIRTUAL INFRASTRUCTURE ENGINE www.OpenNEbula.org The dsa-research group (http://dsa-research.org) is pleased to announce that a Technology Preview of the OpenNEbula (ONE) Virtual Infrastructure Engine is available for download under the terms of the Apache License, Version 2.0. ONE enables the dynamic deployment and re-allocation of virtual machines on a pool of physical resources, so extending the benefits of existing virtualization platforms from a single physical resource to a pool of resources, decoupling the server not only from the physical infrastructure but also from the physical location. The Technology Preview supports the Xen Hypervisor to provide an initial look at the features and capabilities of OpenNEbula.
